(I thought we had a thread on this but I didn't find one when I searched, so here goes)
Daniel Andresen is a graduate from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where his brand is now based. He was born in Germany but has been in Antwerp for some time as he worked for Haider Ackermann and Belgian knitwear brand Hilde Frunt. He started his own brand in 2010. Daniel Andresen's work is mainly knitwear and his collections are for men, but since many of the knits are less about structure, I think they could also work well on women.
The knits are complex, often incorporating several different materials like silk, viscose, wool, angora, and linen. There's also a few blazers, bomber jackets, and button-up shirts that mix in knit detailing. A knit + leather combo jacket seems to make an appearance each season as well. Many of the knitwear pieces close with a brass bar that fastens behind horsehair. There were also some nice woven leather scarves a few seasons back. Colors are generally subdued but the palette is a nice mix of dark greys, muted greens, dark blues, reds, and browns. The clothing feels organic and quietly luxurious.
I've been watching his work since about 2009, a little after he did his graduation show from the Royal Academy, and it's nice to see his brand develop in the past few seasons in particular. The lookbook styling is always a bit over-layered for me, but there are some nice pieces that I find easy to incorporate into my wardrobe. Works very well in a casual setting. Although the trousers aren't for me, I have one cardigan that's my go-to whenever it's cold. I think it works really well with Boris Bidjan Saberi especially, and also maybe Cedric Jacquemyn, Y.Project, and Lost & Found.
Anyway, some imagery:
